Race report
Knox and Van der Sande open up a gap at kilometre 5, while Warbasse, Scaroni and Garosio bridge across. The five race to a maximum lead of more than 6 minutes.
The lead group tackles the finish climb 2.10 minutes ahead of the peloton, while Knox makes a move with 9.4 kilometres out. Yates, Pogacar, Gaudu, Loetsenko and Zakarin bring him back 3.4 kilometres from the line.
Yates goes when the climb evens out inside the last 2.5 kilometres, while Pogacar rejoins him before the others regain contact inside the last kilometre.
Pogacar, Lutsenko and Yates sprint into the sweeping final turn, where the race leader loses contact and Lutsenko emerges first. For a moment he seems to turn out on top, but Pogacar wins the sprint with a well-timed jump to the line.
